This was a perfect place for our weekend away. My fiancé and I came up to NH for an adventurous, fall foliage weekend. This house was charming, unique, clean, and just the right size for the two of us. The Chick’s Corner Schoolhouse will forever be a special place to us since it is where we stayed the weekend we got ENGAGED!!! Brendan was a great host and very quick to respond to my messages.

Unique stay in an old one room school house. Very quiet area, close to hiking trails. The house itself was very clean, lots of windows to take in the view, the water in the shower was nice and hot, well-equipped kitchen. The king bed was especially comfortable! Sandwich is a charming town just a few miles away. Really lovely getaway, I wish we could have stayed there longer.

Including all the reasons we gave it 5 stars, this was the perfect place to stay for a wedding in Tamworth--the schoolhouse is as charming as the Center Sandwich area. Brendan was very accommodating and made it all so easy and convenient.

Squam Lake area former school house.

This is a great place between Center Sandwich and Holderness, an old school house off of the main road. Nicely furnished and appointed. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom with shower. Kitchen is a bit limited. No working kitchen sink, but one is there so maybe in the near future. No real cooktop, so if you want to cook that way, you should bring a camp stove or hot plate plus necessary pans.

Property was lovely and charming. When we arrived, I thought I had downloaded the code for the door,but alas,we had to drive back to town to find an internet hot spot. I think it would be helpful for the manager to forewarn the customer about poor reception and to make sure to write down codes and cell phones before arriving. Other than that,our stay was fine.

Unique Stay for Two

Sandwich is a special town and the Chicks Corner School is a unique space. Perfect for my husband and I. Comfortable bed, hot showers, fluffy towels. It was wonderful. We travel a lot and have slept in all types of spaces - from vintage to luxury - and this one has created a great memory. Thank you!

We arrived in the pouring rain, and the code that was provided to us to get in was not correct. We had to wait for a response from the owner to get this error fixed.Upon walking in the place, it smelled very musty, and we attributed that to the warm weather, and the house being closed up. Then, we opened up the bathroom door, and was overcome by the smell of septic. Again, we thought old house.We flushed the toilet, and ran some water in the sink. We left the house for a few hours and came back for showers, and we were greeted with the same pungent stench of septic. We flushed and started the shower, and you could smell the septic coming up through the shower drain. To make matters even worse, the windows in the bathroom do not open nor is there a ceiling fan in there.We checked out super early, and sure enough you could smell the same exact smell surrounding the home outside. Also, this home sits upon a very well traveled road so street noise is constant. It's really a shame because the home itself was clean, has a/c, and lots of eclectic decor, but unfortunately our stay was atrocious.

Short but delightful stay

We stayed 2 nights and it was absolutely adorable. Comfy and cozy. Super quiet, very beautiful area. We would definitely like to go back and stay longer. Check-in was smooth, the door is a tiny bit tricky to get into, but the host did tell us that. Once we got the hang of it, it was easy! Stay, you wont regret it!

Cute and Cozy

My family and I enjoyed our stay in the school house. The area was peaceful, and the house itself was neat. The bed was comfy and the place was clean. Check in and out was simple with great communication from the host. They even gave guest passes for the local area if we wanted to venture out into the town. I would stay here again if traveling through the area.

Charming Red Schoolhouse in Sandwich

We had a delightful stay at the schoolhouse. Good access to several local trails including Mount Morgan with some beautiful views of Squam Lake, and not a bad drive from the Whites. Reasonably priced. Only small thing to note was that shampoo/body wash are not provided so you’ll want to bring those. It was adorably decorated—one equine decoration in particular was worth the visit alone. We would definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by BRENDAN F TOMPKINS

Host profile image
I'm the 4th generation of Tompkins' at Chick's Corner. My great grandfather, Maj. General William F. Tompkins, purchased the property with his wife. "Daddybill" and "Mammybill" as they were known, spent thier summers at the property. They were good friends with Ike and Mamie Eisenhower - having been classmates at West Point (class of '15 - "the class the stars fell upon") and the ex president and his wife visited a time or two.

What makes this property unique

This is the schoolhouse adjacent to the main property at Chick's corner. It is one of the few remaining one room schoolhouses in the area.
